Chapter 73: Queen In The Castle And...

A bed, sheets, pillows, as well as a seat that could embed itself into the ground were brought to the female Granilith.

‘That seat is the same as...’

“These are the seats we sit on when preparing for takeoff.” Kris explained. “The vault is made to be able to... Have people in there, so the ground is made such that, if need be, a seat like that can be embedded into the ground.”

‘I see.’ The Paru nodded. ‘Having her without belts during takeoff would be a problem. This guy sure is helpful.’

Kris had even brought a basket filled with fruits that female Granilith had gathered, as well as others that the crewmates already had aboard the ship.

Everyone had gone up the stairs, leaving the vault.

Only the Paru was left, as well as the female Granilith.

He slowly closed the door on her, and her reaction was...

“Waaa!!” Her eyes sparkled as she lay on the soft and squishy bed. The contrast between feeling the cool sheets on her back and feeling the warm blanket on her body was heavenly.

Food, a bed, a place for herself.

The female Granilith truly felt like a queen in her own castle.

‘Even though you don’t... I still feel kind of bad about it. I’ll change their minds soon enough though.’

The Paru’s hands took hold of the iron bars separating them, and the female Granilith rose to her feet, laying her hands on the Paru’s.

His hand slowly moved up her forearm, arm, and reached her chest.

She bit on her lower lip as he gently squeezed on her nipple for a moment.

“I’ll come see you in a bit.” The Paru whispered as he turned around and walked away.

He walked up the stairs, wondering what kind of name he should give to the female Granilith.

‘If I don’t give her a name, they might give her one instead... Well, maybe not, since they haven’t tried to give me one, thankfully...’ The Paru scratched his head. ‘Rei... Do I want to keep that name? It doesn’t mean much to me. With this new life, I might as well get a new name... But should I let someone choose it for me? Or should I choose a name for myself?’

“Give it.” Jay said haughtily as he extended an open palm the moment that Paru stepped beyond the last stair.

The Paru took a step forward, closing the distance between him and Jay.

The latter couldn’t help but step back, letting out a sudden and instinctive whimper.

“G-G-Give it to me.”

Her gaze was alternating between his face and his crotch. She found the way it swung almost hypnotic.

The Paru didn’t want to turn towards her or react in any way.

‘Let her stare for longer.’ He thought to himself, smirking internally.

Raya shook her head and brought her gaze to his face.

“You can understand us, but it doesn’t seem like you can really talk to that female Granilith. How come you can understand our language?”

The Paru shrugged.

“I see.” Raya stopped walking. The Paru did the same a step later. “Could it be because you ate out dead comrades?” She asked suddenly.

The Paru turned towards her. On his face, a confused expression. He scratched his head.

“No need to act confused. I’d like to know the truth. It would make things easier. Plus, I really don’t mind.” She waved a hand. “I’m a scientist, you know? They were already dead. Nothing wrong with you doing that.”

The Paru scratched his head again.

“Matter of fact, I’m glad you did it. The fact that you understand us is much more valuable than a couple of corpses.”

‘Heartless.’ The Paru chuckled to himself. ‘Me eating Worka is what gave me the brain to understand you? It’s wrong, but a possible explanation. I guess I’ll go along with it, since I did eat some.’

The Skill gained was “Speech”, something that the Paru hadn’t used much yet.

“So? Am I right?”

The Paru started for a bit, before slowly nodding.

“It’s fine then.” Raya sighed before waving. “You seem not to want to talk about it. Whether it’s because they look like us or not, it shows morals isn’t an unknown concept to you.”

With each of her steps, the dress seemed to move higher and higher up her legs, but never high enough to reveal anything.

“Take off in twenty minutes!” She turned around and shouted.

The Paru scratched his cheek as Raya walked away.

‘Twenty minutes... I guess I’ll go see that one for a bit then.’

The one he had spent the least time around.

Rea, the Navigator.
